Personal jokes and references that we used when we couldn't come out of the closet?
I was talking to a workmate today about how much I love quiche. And I remembered the saying "Real men don't eat quiche". And back when I was in denial, before I could come out to anyone, I remember smiling from ear to ear as I would tell people I love quiche, and I guess that means I'm not a real man.
No one else had a clue what I was getting at, but I thought I was funny
What were yours if you had something similar?

I remember joking at ~16 or 17 about being a lesbian trapped inside a man's body.
Turns out that was not 100% untrue π¬π π

Edit:I'll note that the first crack in my shell, or realizing it was there at all didn't happen for another 15 years
I did the same thing around the same age (or a little older), and it also took me until my 30s to realize it wasnβt actually a joke.
It is shocking how similar that is to me, years and all
Εooking at other comments, it seems more common than I would have expected
Why do you have a fancy L?
For me it was an astute friend who noted it when I was 20.
We're still friends and that remains the consensus.
Are you saying your friend told you that you were a egg and you hadn't noticed?
Very much so.
